    OFFICE OF THE HOUSE SPEAKER 900 Court St., N.E., Room H-269 Salem OR 97301 http://www.oregonlegislature.gov/kotek NEWS RELEASE December 31, 2020 Danny Moran, 503-986-1204 [email protected] House Speaker Tina Kotek Announces Committees Urgent issues will get dedicated attention in new committees SALEM – Oregon House Speaker Tina Kotek on Thursday announced House committees for the 2021 Legislative Session. In addition to the standard policy and budget committees, the Oregon House of Representatives will have new committees in the upcoming session to address timely issues, including wildfire recovery, redistricting, institutional reform of the Legislature, as well as subcommittees focusing on COVID-19 response, equitable policing and the return of a policy committee dedicated to early childhood issues. “Oregonians are facing crises that demand urgent action. The House is ready to lead on the issues that matter most in people’s lives right now. We also need to create the space to have a focused conversation about long-term, transformational changes to modernize the people’s legislature,” Speaker Kotek said. “I’m grateful for the diverse perspectives that my colleagues will bring as we all work together to help Oregonians navigate the big challenges that lie ahead.” Speaker Kotek communicated directly with every returning and new member of the Oregon House of Representatives before deciding on committee assignments, taking the time to weigh and discuss their priorities, interests and notable experience. She also consulted with both caucus leaders before finalizing the assignments. The House will convene on Monday, January 11 to swear in members.

Witness my hand and the Seal of the State of Oregon in Salem, Oregon, this 6th day of April, 2020. Bev Clarno Oregon Secretary of State Oregon votes by mail. Ballots will be mailed to registered voters beginning April 29. OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE ELECTIONS DIVISION STEPHEN N. TROUT BEV CLARNO DIRECTOR SECRETARY OF STATE 255 CAPITOL ST NE, SUITE 501 SALEM, OREGON 97310 (503) 986-1518 Dear Oregon Voter, The information this Voters’ Pamphlet provides is designed to assist you in participating in the May 19, 2020, Primary Election. Primary elections serve two main purposes. The first is for all voters to be able to cast ballots for candidates for nonpartisan offices like judges and some county and other local offices. The second is for the voters registered with a major political party to select their nominees for partisan office like US President. Those registered as not affiliated with a political party, or registered with a minor party (Constitution, Independent, Libertarian, Pacific Green, Progressive, Working Families) will receive a ballot that includes only nonpartisan offices. The US Supreme Court has ruled that political parties get to decide who votes in their primaries so unless you are registered as a Republican or Democrat you will not have candidates for President or any partisan office on your May Primary ballot.

  • Legislative Update
    LEGISLATIVE UPDATE Prepared for OAFP May 12, 2019 SB 765 – Primary Care Spending After nearly an hour of testimony on the Oregon Academy of Family Physician’s primary care spending bill, Rep. Rob Nosse (D-Portland) said, “I can’t figure out how it works.” For the past four years, insurers and CCOs have reported how much they spend on primary care as a percentage of their total medical spend. Part of the goal with SB 765 is to make the formula used to report that spending fits the national standard, so Oregon’s primary care spending can be compared with other states. “We now have an inaccurate report,” Jennifer DeVoe, MD, Chair of the Dept. of Family Medicine at OHSU, said. “People around the country are asking how did Oregon increase primary care spending from 6% to 12% in one year.” Glenn Rodriguez, MD, said we didn’t. We just changed the formula. “The methodology change in 2017 changed the percentage of primary care spending without actually increasing the amount spent on primary care.” State law says Oregon’s insurers and CCOs should spend 12% of their premium dollar on primary care. Devoe said, “The more money you spend on primary care, the more money you save.” A report from Portland State found that increased primary care spending through patient-centered primary care homes (PCPCH) saved $240 million in the first three years through lower emergency room use, fewer hospitalizations and reduced specialty care costs. The insurance carriers that testified — Cambia, Providence, Samaritan and Care Oregon — said they support primary care spending but were united in their opposition to the bill.

OREGON LEAGUE OF CONSERVATION VOTERS DINA LE ROUX, DIGITAL DIRECTOR AT RENEW OREGON CLIMATE CHAMPIONS OF THE YEAR: OUR VOLUNTEERS, ESPECIALLY OUR YOUTH VOLUNTEERS WHILE THE SENATE REPUBLICANS MADE HEADLINES FOR UPENDING OUR DEMOCRACY and Senate Democratic leadership gave in to their demands, young climate activists gave them all a lesson on what it means to have backbone. At the Capitol, young people showed up, as they had been doing for months and even years. In the Senate Gallery, on the Capitol Steps, outside the Senate offices, the young people were fighting for their future. They sang protest songs and, one at a time, shared why they were there. “Because all of our lives are threatened,” Summer Dean, a 22-year old youth activist said, “and they’re trading that for political gain. And it’s not worth it.” It’s not just about protecting Their future lies in the hands of today’s decision makers, and they refuse to sit idly “ by. Young Oregonians are not only the most vocal supporters of climate action, but our animals and our they are the most deserving of being heard. “It’s not just about protecting our animals and our environment, it’s about us,” said environment; it’s about us.
